'Set' in the Bible

I've set my rainbow in the sky to symbolize the covenant between me and the earth.

Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated, and the servants he had acquired while living in Haran. Then they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they arrived in the land of Canaan,

From there Abram traveled on to the hill country east of Bethel and set up his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD.

As the sun began to set, Abram was overcome with deep sleep, and suddenly a frightening and terrifying darkness descended on him.

When the sun had fully set and it was dark, a smoking fire pot and a fiery torch passed between the animal pieces.

Is anything impossible for the LORD? At the time set for it, I will return to you about a year from now and Sarah will have a son."

After this, the men set out from there and looked out over Sodom. Abraham went with them to send them off.

Then Abraham set aside seven ewe lambs,

so Abimelech asked Abraham, "What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs that you have set aside?"

So Abraham got up early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his male servants with him, along with his son Isaac. He cut the wood for the burnt offering and set out to go to the place about which God had spoken to him.

After this, Abraham returned to his servants and they set out together for Beer-sheba, where Abraham settled.

But when they had prepared a meal and set it in front of him, he said, "I'm not eating until I've spoken." "Speak up!" Laban exclaimed.

After Jacob had obeyed his father and mother's instructions to set out for Paddan-aram,

When Jacob got up early the next morning, he took the stone that he had used for his pillow, set it up as a pillar, drenched it with oil,

Jacob kept the lambs separate, facing the striped and entirely black ones that belonged to Laban's flock. He set his own herd by itself and would not let them be with Laban's flock.

Now that you've searched all my belongings, what did you find that belongs to your house? Set it here in front of our relatives and we'll let them judge between us!

"Look!" Laban added, "Here is the stack of stones and here is the pillar that I've set up between you and me.

Then Esau suggested, "Let's set out and travel together, but let me go in front of you."

So allow yourself to go ahead of your servant while I travel more slowly, letting the herds set their own pace with the children until I arrive to see my lord in Seir."

"Why do that?" Jacob asked. "I've already found favor in your sight, sir." So Esau set out that very day back on his way to Seir,

but Jacob set out for Succoth, built a house there, and constructed some cattle shelters. He named the place Succoth.

set up an altar, and named it El-elohe-israel.

As they set out on their journey, because the people who lived in the cities around them feared God, they did not pursue Jacob's sons.

Later, they set out from Beth-el. While still a long way from Ephrathah, Rachel started to have trouble giving birth.

Then he provided him with a chariot as his second-in-command, outfitted with a group of people who shouted out in front of him, "Bow your knees!" And that's how Pharaoh set Joseph over the entire land of Egypt.

So the men took their gift and twice as much money, got up, took Benjamin with them, and set out for Egypt. Eventually they appeared before Joseph.

Your father's blessings will prove to be stronger than blessings from the eternal mountains or bounties from the everlasting hills. May they come to rest on Joseph's head, May they be set upon the brow of the one who was separated from his own brothers."

In his last words, Jacob issued this set of instructions to them all: "I'm about to join our ancestors. Bury me alongside my ancestors in the cave in the field that used to belong to Ephron the Hittite.

After concluding this set of instructions to his sons, Jacob tucked his feet up into bed, quit breathing, and was gathered to his ancestors.
